2005 Bentley Arnage Limousine Preview

And just what are some features a customer can order? The Geneva car featured a large, comfortable rear bench seat,

replacing the standard individual rear buckets. Optional electrically-powered footrests can slide backwards and upwards upon request, capable of supporting the feet and/or calves for total, complete comfort.

Of course, a DVD entertainment system is included, with large 12-inch monitors fixed to the rear of each front seat. The screens can be LCD or plasma, depending on a client's budget, or individual larger screen TVs can be integrated into the car's rear quarters. Similarly a computer can be built-in with wireless access to the web.

Other niceties can include a bar with cooler, a cigar humidor, or for that matter, pretty well anything any customer wants to integrate. That's the beauty of having a coach builder such as Mulliner on the Bentley team, anything can be done to satisfy the unique desires of a client.

While I previously just mentioned the availability of armor protection, the extent Bentley goes to protect its customers

who order the option merits attention. Rather than just adding plating, bullet proof windows and other protective components, the British firm begins the armor integration before the Arnage Limousine is built, incorporating armor right to the bare body shell. While benefiting by having the armor treated with anti-corrosion paints from the beginning, the most significant advantage to this process is the assurance of the car's engineering integrity. Bentley doesn't need to compromise when placing armored materials where needed, but rather can incorporate them into the design from the beginning for ultimate protection.
